SHOT A DOG.
And Fined Heavily For the Of
Tense by Recorder IeVens
Yesterday Morning.

There was a peculiar case before Re
corder Levens yesterday morning that
elected considerable attention from
his honor in order to arrive at a aecis.
ion. 1t was the case of the city against
Richard Schultz, charged with sheet
ing inside the city limits. On Friday
of last week, Shultz, in company with
his brother-in-law named Yates, en-.
tered a neighbours woodsEed and shot
a dog belonging to Henry Meyers, q
German. fresh from the old country.
The latter complained to the city au-
thorities and had him arrested.
Mrs. Meyers and her daughter testi.
fed that they saw young Shultz
enter the shed alone, heard two shots,
saw him come out Of the shed and
wave the revolver above his head.
Witnesses for the defense swOre to the
opposite, but when the city attorney
asked Schultz who did the shooting ne
refused to answer. This fact coupled
with the general bearing Of the case,
perhaps influenced the Judge in find
ing him guilty and imposing a fine of
s25. The city attorney however, was
sufficiently convinced that the Schultz
family had been troubled in no small
degree by Meyers herd of CANNES
and sent recommendation 10 Mayor
Stevens to remit the fine, which that
gentleman did in part, RENTING SO.
Shul:z was released on his own recog-
nizance pending the payment of the
balance.
Francis E. Allen and Francis
Smith were fined So each for trespass
upon railroad property.
George Snively, who carried bun
die of knives, forks and spoons, was
acquitted of the charge of vagrancy.

A DrRmmer's Experience.

S. Lehman, the jolly, good-natured
New York drummer, was in the city
yesterday, and related a thrilling ex-
perience he had several years ago
down in Texas, when a cowboy doc
tor threatened to annihilate him with
a scalping knife used in those days.
The incident he referred to was, short
Iy after it happened, written up in
the "Texas Siftings," in a style that
is laughable indeed.
A BAzOo reporter had the pleasure
of reading it aloud to the occupants of
a prominent drug store, and when he
came to the place where a vivid and
realistic description was given of how
Mr.. Lehman planned his escape by
proposing a duel to take place several
hours later, and while the outlaw doc
tor was out on the street selecting his
second, how he escaped by walking to
the next station, seven miles distance,
the uproar of laughter would have
drowned the noise of any "nig.
ger" band in the country. The whole
cause Of the trouble between this
prominent cigar salesman and the
outlaw was, that the latter was itch
ing to add to his duel list the name of
S. Lehman, Jew from the Empire
State.

a Close Call.
Bentoz County Mo.

An amusing incident happened to
young man who attended the ball
and banquet at Sicher's Park the other
night. Before going to the ball room
he placed in a small room his hat and
overcoat, which room happened to be
young lady's sleeping apartments.
The dance lasted until the wee small
hours, and the hero of this incident
had enjoyed himself hugely never
thinking of where he had left his coat
and hat until time to leave. 10 the
meantime the young lady had retired
and was dreaming, perhaps, of the
splendid time she had enjoyed. He
went to the door of the room, opened
it and walked in. All was dark.
The light which had been burning
when he was there before had been
turned out.
"Where was his coat and hat ?" he
asked himself.
He felt in his vest pocket, but
found no match. He began TO feel
around the room for his tile and coat
he knew were in there somewhere.
whats that, someone snoring ?"
Thinking it was man, he called out,

Salvation Meeting.

Captain Peckham began the Sal
walton Army meeting last night with
the favorite song of "Rally 'Roupd
the Cross" which was joined in by
the laddies and lassies that fairly made
the barracks ring with music from
stage to entrance. The Sleeper was
there and added unharmonious strains
with squeaking fiddle which served
as sort of prelude between each
note. When he came to the bar,
with one wide sway of the bow he
would jump entirely over and come
down on the first note of the next
measure with renewed vengeance,
grazing his teeth as if to say "Its
hard for me, but I'm going to get
there" His efforts were we'll intend
ed, and he is doing no harm, to say
the least, while devoatly saving his
rosined bow.

FAIR LUNA'S PHIZ.
Experience of a Country Boy
With the Big Telescope
on Ohio Street

He was from the country, and was
just turning into manhood. A downy
fuz upon his upper lip denoted care
full cultivation, and his pantaloons
had been pulled year too soon. He
was fresh and green, and licked with
open-eyed wonder at the big telescope
on the street corner.
Edging his way through the crowd g,
he stood with open-mouthed wonder,
as the street astronomer described the
orbit and surface of the moon, toward
whose fair face the instrument was
pointing
Ibid you say the moon do turn

slowly, describing her orbit once in
about tuenty-eight days"
While the gentleman was TINS
talking, the boy had his eye to the
instrument. and was gazing
on the mysteries of the
moon. By swift movement of a
lever the telescope was thrown out of
range of the light, and the boy looked
up and said

"DO you want to take an Observa-

All this time the boy was trying to

was moving the instrument further
into the darkness.

the boy, feeling along up the side of

1t Was His Hand.

A few Sundays ago young man In
Sedalia, anxious to shine in company
with mis- best girl, took her to one of
the leading churches. All went we'll
for some time, and how charming he
thought his girl appeared beside him.
Her shapely form began to chill and
she said
George, will you assist in putting
this shawl around my shoulders p
Eyes, my dear" replied the young
man, and he drew the shawl around
her. Just as she went to take hold of
il he became excited and let it slip
from his fingers.
The girl of course was innocent of
what she was doing, but thinking that
the shawl was there, she reached back
and took hold of his hand and began
to pull Georges arm around her neck.
Poor George was embarrassed be-
yond description, and gasped "Viola,
that amt the shawl; you've got hold
of my hand"
"Oh, goodness gracious, have If'
she CALCULATED, and she threw the arm
from around her neck and exclaimed,
"Why, George, how could you do
such thing in church ?" 1t was a
long time before those around the
couple succeeded in getting their faces
straight.

AN UNEXPECTED EVENT
A Girl i'm an Embarrassing Con-
ditiOn at the Union
Depot To day.

Shortly after the 11.15 train pulled
out from the union depot this morning
a young woman, apparently eighteen
years of age entered the ladies' wait
ing room.
No particular attention was paid to
her until she approached the cOlored
woman porter and asked in an agita-
ted manner to be shown to the ladies'
toilet. This was done and as she
walked to the toilet it was noticed that
the woman or rather the girl was suf.
fering intensely when she told the
porter that she was about to be con-
fined. The girl was followed into the
toilet and there learned that her state
ment was about to be verified.
"When the girl entered the closet
and closed the door" said the porter,
"she told me that she was about to
have a miscarriage, and did give birth
to child, which dropped into the
sewer. She went to the waiting
room and sat down on a seat and
1 FASTENED to notify Depot Master
Carnes, who sent Immediately for
city physician Small, and while tn ey
were gone she left, going south on
Usage to Main, turned east and L saw
no more of her."
There is a history surrounding this
incident that as yet is only known to
the girl. However, she stated to the
porter that her home was in Clifton,
Mo-, and that she was a married
woman, and had been beaten and
whipped by her husband, which
caused the unfortunate affair.
She further stated that she had been
in Sedalia for several days, and was
going to take the train for Akinsviile,
Morgan county, via Upton, where her
father resided, and where she visited
about three weeks ago. This state
ment of her going to Upton was veri-
fed by her having a ticket for that
place.
Where the girl went to, no one can
surmise, although the officers searched
for her in every nook and corner that
seemed possible for her to 60. In
appearance she was low stature, heavy
form and full face; wore a short black
dress and cream colored shawl around
her shoulders.
The girl has been in the city sever
al days seeking employment at several
places. She came from Kansas, and
said her father lived in Morgan
county. She is very illiterate-can
neither read or write. She told par
ties in the city yesterday that she was
unmarried, and that she did not like
to go home because she had a step
mother and step sisters, who made it
unpleasant for her.

He then heard a yswn and a mum

sleep. He didn't know what was
said and continued his interrogstories.
What did you say?"
"Wh-who-who are your" Just then
the door opened and another lady COM

the young man grabbed his coat and
hat and made a hasty exit, not stop
ping until he reached his domicile on
Lamine street.

Garden Plains, a little town in the eastern
part of the county, comes to the front with q
first class elopement. Near this village
lived a We ll-todo farmer named j. L. Dung.
He was about 30 years Of age and had but

farm lived young man, Marcus Fairchild.
In some way an intimacy sprang up between
Fairchild and the young wife of his neigh
